i had to reset my ipod 4 touch and now trying to set it up again ..it goes as far as saying it will take a few minutes to activate your ipod but then it says activation has failed ! help ! iam close to tearing my hair

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Still saying not enough storage after resetting and erasing everything off my iPad don't know what to do if I reset the iPad in General what will it erase

    All I really do is watch movies on my iPad I will download two movies watch then delete knowing I can redownload we'll did that last night deleted and know that I'm trying to download a movie I just bought it's saying not enough storage when in general it saying I have 2.7 left I'm not that good with these kind of things but someone please help I have no apps downloaded no music movies some pics but that's it I don't understand

    Ashley ....
    if you reset all settings, you will not lose anything at all. You will have to reset all of the device preferences again like your chosen wallpaper, your privacy settings, whatever settings in the Settings app that you changed from the factory default, will have to be entered again.
    You will not lose any data, movies, songs, etc. I responded to your first post and told you that I'm not sure it will work anyway, it's just a suggestion. If you are not comfortable doing it, then don't do it.

    I am the owner of my iPhone 4 and it had not been updating and allowing me to download apps. So I decided to do factory setting, before doing so I had backed up my phone on my computer then I had erased everything from my iphone. But now I want to start everything from the beginning, and on my setting my Apple ID is present however when I put my password in it doesn't let me log in. The message that I receive says that I would have to remove my Apple ID  as it will not let me log in with that I'd even though I am the original owner, I have tried  everything on find my iPhone as well, even there my Apple ID not showing on the devise.
    If anyone has had a similar experience could you please advise me on what to do,
    Thanks

    You must have the credentials that were used to turn on Find my iPhone on the device. Without them, you can not get past the activation lock.

  • My iphone 5 went into search mode and I can't place or receive calls or use the internet but my text messages work. Sprint had me do a master reset and my phone doesn't work at all now I can't get it past the activation. Will I have to pay in store?

    My iphone 5 went into search mode and I can't place or receive calls or use the internet but my text messages work. Sprint had me do a master reset and my phone doesn't work at all now I can't get it past the activation. Will I have to pay for repairs in store because I didnt get the Apple care plan when I purchased it. Sprint said it may be a phone problem not sure if I should take it to Sprint or Apple...I just need my phone

    I'm sorry to learn that you are not able to make/receive calls chelseabee! (ticket number removed) results indicate that there is no issues with the network or account provisioning. Since you have already done a hard reset http://vz.to/1gBkSJc (as per your post), I recommend exploring replacement options. If your phone is within the one year manufacturers' warranty we can provide a Certified Like New replacement http://vz.to/uyYF0o as long as no physical/liquid damage exist. If your phone has sustained physical/water damage and you have insurance, you can submit a claim to the insurance company online at this link http://bit.ly/07CrqPK

  • Can I do all and transfer everything from the iPod Touch 32gb 3rd gen onto an iPad using iTunes?

    Can I do all and transfer everything from the iPod Touch 32gb 3rd gen onto an iPad using iTunes?

    Be sure to first sync and backup your iPod Touch with iTunes. Then just sync your iPad with iTunes to transfer everything to the iPad. Be sure you are using the same Apple ID. You will now have two devices synced with iTunes on your computer.

  • I did a factory reset on my ipod touch, but now when i try turning it on it just goes to the apple screen with the loading sign

    i did a factory reset on my ipod touch but now when i try turning it on it just goes to the apple screen with a loading sign, ive let my battery die and tried reconnecting but it still wont work. it doesnt even come up on itunes.

    Why won't it let you sync?  What happens when you try to sync it? Any error messages from iTunes?  How is your iPod configured to sync music from your iTunes library?  In other words, what options do you have selected from under the iPod's Music tab in iTunes?  To access this tab, plug your iPod in, select it under Devices in the left hand pane of iTunes, and over to the right locate and select the Music tab along the top.
    Or are you trying to manually manage your iPod's contents?  In other words, is the Manually manage music and videos option enabled from under the iPod's Summary tab?

  • I deleted everything off my Ipod touch and now I can't get my music back on.

    A few days ago I deleted everything off my Ipod as there was stuff on there that I didn't want and that was taking up room. I seleted the 'erase all contents and settings' option as I thought that it would simply be a case of reconnecting it  to my computer in order to restore my music. But now when I connect it to the computer it doesn't pick it up in iTunes at all, its not under devices or anything. Also, when i turn it on now all that comes up is the apple logo, nothing else. I've tried everything from uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling the latest version to trying to restore my Ipod to its factory settings through iTunes but nothing works. I don't know if this makes any difference but i think it may have been jailbroken a couple of years ago (this was done by someone else not me) and that was what I was trying to delete, all the music and apps that they put on. Please help.

  • I downloaded itunes to a new computer and it wiped everything off my ipod touch???

    I got a laptop because my tower computer was ruined except for my drivers. I installed itunes on the laptop and connected my ipod touch and it wiped everything off. I beleive the backup never finished before it erased everything. Is there any way to retrieve my music pics and such now that they are gone and do not even exist on the new laptop?????

    I they are not on your new computer they are gone.  If you can't get them from your old computer they are gone forever.
    You can only sync an iPod to one iTunes library/computer.  When you change libriares/computer iTunes will erase you iPoa\d and replace its contents with what is in the iTunes library of the hew computer.
    You can redownload app and maybe music.  from Itunes.  See:

  • I helped my grandson update the OS on his ipod touch but now none of his apps are on the device.  We used their computer but he had only previously downloaded purchases directly to his ipod and never synced it. HELP

    My Grandson has a latest generation touch.  Up to this time the only way he downloaded apps was directly to the device via wifi.  We just recently installed itunes on their home computer and wanted to be able to sync purchases.  When we plugged the ipod in to the computer it prompted us to install the new OS which we did but now his apps are not on the ipod.  They do not show up in the itunes library either?  They have an Apple ID and the account (and gift card balance) shows on both the ipod and computer.  How do I get his apps back and then how do I sync things between teh two??????????

  • I had an ipod nano its earphones are not working.. a few months back my ipod broke and i purchased a new ipod touch but its earphones died too so i got them replaced. is it possible to replace my earphones of ipod nano with the warranty on my ipod touch ?

    can i claim the warranty of another earphone on one ipod i.e. getting two earphones on the same warranty serial number...

    Because the warranty for your iPod touch does not cover manufacturing defects with your iPod Nano.  You are talking about and dealing with two seperate products.
